Sign PDF Online — Free, No Upload

Printing a form to sign it, then scanning it back, is a ten-minute detour for a few seconds of ink. Sign PDF does it on screen: make your signature once, click where it belongs on the page, and download a signed copy. The document and the signature stay in your browser. They are not uploaded, and they are not saved for next time; only your pen colour and stroke width are remembered.

How to Use It on a Rental Agreement

1. Make a signature three ways: Draw it with a mouse, finger or stylus; Type your name and pick a handwriting style; or Upload a photo of your signature on white paper, with the paper made transparent so only the ink remains.
2. Open the PDF, or press Try a sample for a one-page “Room rental agreement” for 14 Hillside Road, rent £650 a month, with a Tenant signature line and a Date line at the bottom.
3. Click the page where the signature should go. It lands centred on your click at 28% of the page width; drag it to move it and pull the orange corner to resize it.
4. Press Add today’s date for a date stamp such as 26 Oct 2026, place as many signatures as the document needs on any page, then press Save signed PDF.

Edge Cases When Signing

Pressing Place signature before making one stops with “Create your signature first — draw it, type it or upload it above.” A PDF can be up to 100 MB, and password-protected files must be unlocked first. Some PDFs store a page sideways with a rotation flag; on those pages placement is switched off rather than risk the signature landing in the wrong spot. Typed styles use the handwriting fonts already on your device, so the same name can look different on a Mac and on Windows.

When Not to Use an Image Signature

This places a picture of your signature on the page, which is what most everyday paperwork asks for: leases, permission slips, invoices, HR forms. It is not a certificate-based digital signature. Nothing in the file proves who signed it or that it was not changed afterwards. Where a contract, a court or a regulator requires a qualified or certified digital signature, use a signing service that issues one.
